Washington And Lincoln

Well, they handed me the bomb this morning

For immediate delivery

A shot of whiskey and a pat on the back

For the drive ahead of me

I said goodbye this morning

To the King of the Family Tree

And now without a warning

The future ain't what it used to be

I hit a red light down on Washington & Lincoln

And I'm never gonna be the same

'Cause I'm a man with a mission and I'm stuck at the signal

And I'm waiting for my life to change

I'm waiting for my life to change

Well, they handed me the crown this evening

For immediate ascendancy

Gathered the children into my arms

For immediate dependency

I said goodbye this morning

To the boy I used to be

He left without a warning

The future ain't what it used to be

(Chorus)

Oh, you used to say, "You're too big for a boy, too little for a man"

Now they need me to run, but I can hardly stand

This ain't what I had planned

(Chorus)

It's all gonna change that scene

As soon as this light turns green
